Scared of losing all the time
He wrote it in a letter
He was a friend of mine

He heard you could see your future, inside a glass of water
With ripples and the rhymes
And he asked, will I see heaven in mine?

That is just the way it was
Nothing could be better
And nothing ever was,

Oh they say you could see your future
Inside a glass of water
With riddles and the rhymes
Will I see heaven in mine?
Oooh,oooh, oooh I

Son, don’t ask
Neither how full nor empty, is your glass
Cling to the mast
Spend your whole life living, in the past
Going nowhere fast

So he wrote it on the wall
The hollowest of halos
Is no halo at all

Televisions selling plastic figurines of leaders
Saying nothing at all
And your chime
Stars in heaven align

Son, don’t ask
Neither how full nor empty is your glass,
Cling to the mast
Spend your whole life living, in the past
Going nowhere fast

What are we drinking when were done? Glasses of water
